some eye opening disclosures in the new bob woodward book. it's called obama's wars about the war in afghanistan and the war within the obama administration about how to manage it. he feels that president obama urgently looked for a way out of the war last year. repeatedly pressing his national security team for an exit plan that was never delivered. and that he ordered the surge in troops as a compromise. he's quoted as telling white house aids this needs to be a plan about how we are going to hand it off and get out of afghanistan. and when he rejected the military's request for 40,000 troops, he also rejected the idea of long-term nation building saying i'm not doing ten years. now i'll have more on how president obama has been at odds with some of his top uniformed military commanders including general david patraeus. that's coming up during my next update in about an hour. live from washington d.c.,

alson burns, ktvu news. one of obama's top economic advisors is leaving the white house. he's giving up his position as the director of the national economic council and plans to return to harvard at the end of this year. summers is the third member of president obama's economic team to step down amid the economic crisis. there's a speculation that he will be replaced by either a woman or a ceo. time now 5:13. democratic leaders in the u.s. senate planned a new vote on the ban of gays serving openly in the military. the attached revision appeal don't ask don't tell to a popular defense spending bill. but it was defeated with all republicans voting against it. 60 votes were needed to pass it but it only received 56. republicans accuse democrats of trying to force the action before the november election. >> this is a plait event brat

event political ploy in order to face the other side facing a losing election. >> thinks the votes should be held until after the election. senate leaders say they'll bring the issue up again in a lame duck session after the elections. now if democrats lose some of their seats as expected, repealing the ban could be even tougher next year. another bill known as the draining mack also failed in the senate in that same vote. this would have allowed young people under the age of 16 when they illegally came to this country to become u.s. citizens after spending two years in either college or the military. they also would have had to be in the u.s. for five years and have a high school diploma. sponsors plan to make the dream act the first amendment to the defense bill that was just defeated. san francisco is envisioning fewer drivers on city streets as the transit agency updates its strategic
